Convicted drug dealers were scored on the Wanting Recognition (WR) Scale -a scale that provides a quantitative measure of a person's level of need for approval and sensitivity to social situations. (Higher scores indicate a greater need for approval.) Based on the study results, we can assume that the WR scores for the population of convicted drug dealers has a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 5. Suppose that in a sample of 100 people, the mean WR scale score is  = 42. Is this sample likely to have been selected from the population of convicted drug dealers? Explain.
